156 INFERNAL DUTY.
•' Down, down to hell, and say I sent thee thither." Shakspeare.
Captain Thompson, of the artillery, while serving in the Peninsula, had the luck to lose, in the space of one campaign, every man of the heavy brigade which he commanded, some by sickness, but most by the enemy ; and he found himself at last, not only the captain of the brigade, but, in his own person, the brigade itself. Finding, however, that a commanding officer, without men to command, was neither useful nor... ornamental, he applied personally to the Adjutant-general, for advice under the circumstances, observing, that he wished to be appointed to some other duty.
INFERNAL DUTY. 157 The Adjutant-general, at the moment the appli- cation was made to him, happened to be proceed- ing across the village in which they were quar- tered, to Lord Wellington ; and said he would speak to his Lordship, requesting Thompson to call on him, for the purpose of knowing the Com- mander of the forces' will on the subject.
